Keith, who plays barman Ciaran McCarthy in Coronation Street, is forced to strip off after failing a challenge he set himself.

He told Inside Soap:

“I’m shooting some scenes where Ciaran offers to cook Michelle a meal, and he tells her that if it’s not the best food she’s ever tasted, he’ll work a shift behind the bar wearing just his boxers.”

I’m looking forward to seeing what the wardrobe department have come up for me.”

Viewers will soon see Ciaran’s flirtation with Michelle (Kym Marsh) step up a gear when he organises a speed-dating night at the Rovers.

Mean while, Ronan flies out to Australia today to start his stint as a judge on the X Factor.

Ronan has met his fellow judges,including Natalie Imbruglia, before so is looking forward to re acquainting with old friends and also seeing what talented people there are in Australia!

This weekend has not only seen the boyzone album, Brother, holding on to the number one album slot, but also Keith winning £25,000 for charity in “The Door”.

Keith says:

It felt absolutely fantastic to win The Door because I got the opportunity to be able to give £25,000 to The Tree House Foundation who are an organisation that provide an amazing service to kids and young adults with autism. This is very close to my heart as my own daughter has the condition.

Keith will be on GMTV tomorrow morning chatting about his appearance in the new ITV show, The Door, which will hit your screens over the weekend.

Keith will be up and ready for the early morning show which is becoming something of a regular haunt for the boyz of late.

In The Door, a brand-new, two-part special for ITV1, Keith will join five other celebrities to put his bravery to the test and take on a multitude of challenges, all delicately designed to scare them witless.

Keth will join Actors Dean Gaffney, Louisa Lytton, Coronation Street’s Jennie McAlpine, and television presenter Michael Underwood and The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford as they compete against each other in the ultimate battle of mind over matter.

The anxious contestants will pass through a series of doors. Each will transport them to unexpected places where they will face challenges that will assault all their senses.

The last star standing will claim a cash prize for their chosen charity – but first they’ll have to push themselves to the limit.

Presiding over the entertaining thrills and spills is Chris Tarrant and Amanda Holden, who will be on hand to prepare the celebrities for what lies ahead and provide detailed commentary from their insider vantage point.

In this knockout competition, each door will claim a victim. By the end of the first episode, three of the celebrities will have made it through to the final.

The three “losers” will face a series of disorientating challenges, – and one will earn the last remaining place in the final showdown.

In the concluding instalment, the four finalists take part in two head-to-head contests, before the last two remaining celebrities do battle in the final challenge.

Will Keith be victoriuos? Tune in to find out.

Keith said:

Boyzone need a reason to stay together and the only way we can do that is to be successful. It’s great to think we started on this stage 17 years ago and now 17 years later, we’re still here with a number one album in Ireland and hopefully in the UK.
